Aurelia Netherlands TopCo B.V. ("Adevinta"), in which Vend Marketplaces ASA
("Vend" or the "Company") holds a 14% ownership stake, has completed the
divestment of its Spanish operations ("Adevinta Spain") to EQT.

Following the closing of the transaction, Adevinta is expected to resolve a
capital distribution to its shareholders early next week. Vend's share of the
capital distribution amounts to EUR 282 million, equivalent to approximately NOK
3.2 billion.

In line with its capital allocation policy, Vend intends to return the proceeds
from the Adevinta distribution to its shareholders. The Company is currently
assessing the most appropriate structure for the return of capital, with a
primary focus on share buybacks. An update on the specific structure and timing
will be provided in due course.

"Today's announcement underscores the ongoing value creation at Adevinta and
reflects Vend's disciplined approach to capital allocation," says Per Christian
Mørland, CFO of Vend.
